A cONFESsOR'S STORY.

sFather.''-ths trembling voice betrayed
The troubled heart. "Be not afraid
Isoftly answered. "Woe is me!
Dead unto all but misery.
And yet, q child Of innocence
Is mine-a son unlnowing whence
His origin-whom, unaware,
As with an angels watchful care,
Thy gentle hand hath guided. Now
He waits the consecrating vow
Of priesthood, and tomorrow stands
A Levite, with uplifted hands.
To bless thee. May a mother dare
To look upon that face and share,
Unseen, the blessing of her son:
DENY me not So be it done
To thee in thy last agony
As now thou doest unto me-"
She had her will. Secluded Their
Within clustered place Of prayer
She saw and wept; then all unknown
Shrunk back into the world alone.
DAVIS passed A winters cherries mors
With summons came. A soul forlorn
Craved help in danger imminent;
And Christlike ON his mission went
The new anointe1
'tStrange," he said.
1.-THE CLEANS, like inspiration, shed
Upon the dying! There she lay,
Poor reprobate, lifeS stormy day
In clouds departing. Suddenly,
As from trance, beholding me,
t0iulio. hast thou conner she cried.
And, with her arms about me, died"
He wondered, and turned away,
Lest tears my secret should betray.

ture and the disclosures made by tie
arrest OF the parties connected with
the Crawford distllery, many reports
of crookedness in this moral vineyard
have been rife. Wednesday
Revenue Officers j. p.
Chisholm and Welborn Colquitt arrived
few people. They went to the livery
stable and engaged halt a dozen of the
best teams In the stable. Wednesday
night ten Deputy United States Marshals
arrived on the train, covered from head
to feet with guns and pistols. About y
O'Clock that night the party left town
quietly in several different directions.
They We're bent on capturing some Illicit
dIstilleries. They had received reliable in
formation that in RADIUS OF fifteen miles
there were eight iull-fedged distilleries
running on fall time, and turning out the
"orphan maker" IN fearful rapid man
ner: The disclosures expected to be-
made by some OF these captures will be
startling and surprising. Outside of
the capture OF the Illicit distillerles, the
ofhcers are also to get additional
evidence about the Crawford
matter. 1t is reported that there will be
at least one dozen warrants issued i'm
mediately against parties living in
Spolding county, who the officers claim
had connection with the Crawford
crookedness. 1t is rumored that there
will be a number of changes In the
revenue service, both in high and low
places. If one half OF what is said is
true, the internal revenue department is

Poyerty,s Pinch in London.

The pinch" this winter is further in.
creased among a certain class by the failure
of the hopping season. During the hop
ping many of the poor people make q httie
money, which they invest by buying bits OF
furniture, clothing, and other property.
On these when the winter and the slack
trade set in they live. That 10 to say, they
pawn them to pay rent and to buy food.
But the hopping having failed, they were
unable to invest in any property, and SO IN
thousands of instances the people are even
less prepared to meet the winter than they
were last year. They have nothing pawn
able to fall back upon. Pawning is the
first thing to which the poor people resort
when the wolf comes to the door. One by
one the household goods are flung to this
fierce wolf to stop his pittiless pursuit, but
he only pauses q moment TO swallow the
prize and then on he comes again as fierce
and hungry as ever. From the earliest
age the children Of the poor are initiated
into the mysteries Of pawning, and they
look upon it as a recognized feature OF eve
ryday life. In an infant school in South
London the other day the teacher was ex-
planning to the children the parable OF the
prodigal son. Said the teacher:
"And now all the prodigal sons clothes
are gone and he has no food. What must
he dor"
To which a little girl 81 years old imme-
diately responded:
why, pawn his little gals boots and
fings. London Meas.

Six years ago We came to Philadelphia to

Ardmore. Here, wearied with the long
struggle with pain and helplessness, her
little serene highness fell asleep; and as l
close this paper ! miss the loving collabor-
alton that with so much of grace md deli
cacy would have better prepared these
pages for the reader. The first throb of
literary ambition, nv earliest and later sue
cesses, SO far as I have been successful,
whatever words of mine men may be pleas
ed to remember pleasantly, whatever Of
earnestness and high purpose there is in
my life, whatever inspirat on | ever had or
have that enters into my work and makes
it more worthy of acceptance, l eve to the
g~entlest, best and wisest critics and collab-
orators, a loving, devoted wife. And if l
ever should win one of the prizes which
men sometimes give to those who amuse
them, the Wreath should be placed, not on
the head of the jester who laughs and
sings. but on the brows of her who inspired
the mirth and the song.-Lippencotfs

It SOOthed Him.

A little Detroit boy was sick and his
mother sat up at night with him and sung
him to sleep.
The next night singing had lost its
charm, so she told him stories, and, being
mn amateur elocutionist. recited the poem
"Rock of Ages" with such dramatic effect
that he went to sleep and did o wake I'M
til morning.
The following night he was worse, and
insisted that his mother should 'pway" with
him.
She began "Our Father" but was per-
emptorily stopped by a little hot hand laid
against her lips.
Then she essayed "Now / lay me-" but it
threw the baby into a feverish rage.

The Stomach DistiIls Acids.

These, II existent in a natural quantity, and
unvitiated by bile, play their part in the func-
tions Of digestion and assimilation. But the
artificial acid resulting from the inability of the
stomach to convert food received by it into
sustenance, is the producer Of fatulence and
heartburn, which are the most harassing
symptoms Of dyspepsia. The best carminative
is Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Far more effec-
tive is it than carbonate of soda, magnesia or
other alkaline salts. These invariably weaken
the stomach without producing permanent BEN
eft. No man or woman chemically dyspetic,
and consequently nervous, can be in possession
Of the full measure OF vigor allowed by nature.
Therefore, invigorate and regulate the system.
and by so doing protect it from malaria, rheu-
matism. and other serious maladies.

A Horrible SnperstitIOn.

Some strange sights were witnessed at
Ca,pentras during the execut on Of a man
named Ginous, who had violated and muir
dered a little girl of s some months ago,
writes q Paris correspondent. Ginous
thought he would be reprieved at the last
moment. When his death warrant was
read to him he appeared calm and attended
to the illustrations Of the chaplain. Be-
fore getting into the van which was to take
him to the guillotine he smoked a cigarette
and drank a glass of rum. Au immense
crowd had assembled TO see him die, and
as soon as the knife had severed his head
from his body the people burst through
the ring of troops ami rashed to the guillo-
tine, where children were sprinkled with
the murderer's blood. This hor ible pro-
ceeding is believed in the south to be eff
cacious in preventing children from be-
coming murderers themselves.
